Sea salt 0.5 tablespoon (for blanching)

Carrot 20g

Taste salt 0.25 teaspoon

Pinch of sugar

Soy sauce 0.5 tablespoon

seaweed flakes to taste

Hulled sesame seeds 1 tablespoon

Recipe

Cut the mung bean jelly into bite-sized pieces.
Bring water to a boil, add 0.5 tablespoon of sea salt, then add the cut mung bean jelly and blanch for about 3 minutes until it becomes slightly translucent.
Finely chop 20g of carrot and briefly blanch together in the boiling water for about 20 seconds.
Immediately rinse the blanched tofu and carrot under cold water to cool them down, then drain thoroughly on a colander.
Place the drained tofu in a bowl and add 0.25 teaspoon of taste salt, a pinch of sugar, and 0.5 tablespoon of soy sauce. Gently toss to combine.
Add an appropriate amount of blanched carrot and seaweed flakes.
Grind half of the hulled sesame seeds into a fine powder and mix it in; keep the other half whole and add as-is to enhance the nutty aroma. Gently toss everything together to finish.

Dice the mung bean jelly and finely chop the carrot.
Boil water with salt, blanch the tofu for 3 minutes and the carrot for 20 seconds, then cool in cold water and drain completely.
In a bowl, combine the drained tofu with taste salt, sugar, soy sauce, carrot, seaweed flakes, and ground sesame seeds. Mix evenly.

Cooking tips

Do not use too much soy sauce, or the mung bean jelly will turn dark and murky—use only 0.5 tablespoon for aroma and adjust seasoning with salt instead.
Grinding half of the hulled sesame seeds into a fine powder helps the nutty flavor penetrate the tofu more deeply, enhancing the overall taste.
